"I had a food addiction"

Alan Christiansen had a strange way of rewarding himself from an early age when he was doing something right: he was "a pleasure". But we are not talking about buying a chocolate, but eating large amounts of junk food. So he quickly gained a lot of weight and finished high school with 140 kilos.

His routine did not vary much and he arrived at 31 years old, consuming only 6,000 calories at lunch and weighing 245 kilograms. "I could not stay in the shower more than ten minutes and I needed a chair to wash the dishes or cook," the man remembers. He even broke a chair and fell to the ground in a restaurant, which, he says, made him feel bad.

However, none of this changed his behavior. Those who mobilized her are her daughters, then aged 3 and 5 years old. "I put all my energy into my work and, when I got home, I had to sleep for two hours, so the girls were left unattended. made it clear that something was wrong, "he said.

"He was a non-existent father and a vague husband because he was limited in all physical activities," said the man from Washington, USA. In fact, his daughters drew him as a big circle that occupied a large part of the page.

In December 2016, he decided that it could not be his reality anymore. "I had gained weight because I was addicted to food," he said. So he started eating more balanced, six times a day, with small portions. Then he sought the help of a professional and, when he lightened a little weight, he introduced physical exercise.

"I started walking everywhere, that was the key, it was first a tower apple, then two, then three, and finally 8 km." When I felt tired or felt the pain, I was sitting in a corner, "he explained.

Christiansen lost 130 kilos in one year. Today, he claims to have reached his ideal weight (100 kg) and confesses: "I am a man, a husband, a father and a friend of better quality.I feel free from the chains that have bound me for so many years. Years, now I can live the best life possible and enjoy its benefits. "

To maintain its weight, it feeds on vegetables, fish, turkey and chicken, although a dessert is allowed on the occasion. "I've replaced poor eating habits with smart choices, I've educated my mind and I can control what gives energy to my body," he added, though that his happiness is more to hear his daughter telling him that he is the best father in the world.
